The GM is a lot better than the beta but still pretty lame overall. I read that turning off parallax view helps. Parallax looks nice the first few times you show it to friends then you never use it again.

I heard rumors some cell companies were blocking this feature in the newest Windows Phone update since they normally charge for it, I wonder if they'll try to find some way to do the same with iOS7, or if Apple would even let them pull an obvious money grab stunt like that.

The upcoming iOS update may cause iPhone, iPad, and iPod Mobile Authenticators to reset. When you update your phone's OS, we recommend taking any one of the following precautionary steps:

Sign up for the free SMS Protect service. In the event of a lost, broken, or accidentally reset authenticator, users with SMS Protect can remove the old authenticator from their account with a texted security code. For more information, visit the SMS Protect FAQ. Write down your authenticator's Serial Number and Restore Code so that you may restore your authenticator to your phone after the OS update is finished. Temporarily remove the authenticator before updating. Reattach the authenticator again once your iOS update is complete. Update over Wi-Fi. iPhones that are updated over Wi-Fi rather than through a computer are less prone to accidental resets.

I had no problem with this fwiw

I've never had an issue before either, but I did just sign up for the SMS Protect deal. better safe that having to call customer support.

Really like it so far. Some of it is quite ugly, like the Safari icon, but lot's of nice little touches. Finally an Android like control panel!

Battery is getting slaughtered on my iPhone 5 of course.

Turning off Background App Refresh and enabling "Reduce Motion" to kill the annoying and gimmicky parallax effect is believed to improve battery life. If you could, try that and report back if it makes any difference. I'm holding off on the update until there is more info on the battery problem. Plus I'm sure the update servers are getting slammed now anyways.

I've had those both off for a week and my battery still sucks on the 4S.

I've done both. We'll see how well the battery holds up. That said, my phone sits with wifi always on because of limited minutes and how I get free wifi calling. So I dunno how much that's going to affect things.

Also it wasn't much of a hassle downloading iOS 7 this morning when it became available. Can't imagine doing it now.

Overall however, initial reviews say that battery life drops by 5-10% on default settings with iOS 7, which frankly is nuts. Wonder what the heck happened?

Now bring on the jailbreak! I want customized icons and such!

well, with my iPhone 4 that is now a glorified iTouch, I only went down 1% in battery life overnight. got it in ariplane mode, with wifi on. it's interesting, with iOS6 I'd have lost more battery power overnight.

In the Ars Technica review the only platform that had a drastic reduction in battery life is the iPhone 5. Everything else was no more than 30 minutes in their tests.

My 5 doesn't drain any quicker when not using, but it is draining quicker than it did before under daily use. Not enough to be a problem unless I had an extremely long day with heavy use ahead of me. I don't know what is causing it to drain, the parallax is barely used unless I am just sitting on my home screen. The apps don't seem to update themselves in the background much either.

I really like it on my iPhone, think its a great update. It is a bit rough on my iPad 3 though. Performance on an already slow unit, took a bigger hit. Not enough to care, but noticeable. My retirement present to my self will be an iPad 5, so I won't care after November.

I haven't noticed any battery performance loss. Only been a couple of days, though.

Today mine drained about the same as it would using iOS 6, while a friend is telling me hers is draining really quick on her 5. Mine seems to be a bit flakey, it will seem like it drops a few percentage points quickly, and then be very steady for great lengths of time (doesn't matter what I am doing on it).
